I had already made a roll call thread for this show last week, but this one already has more activity, so disregard mine. I'll be there + 2 non-DTFers

I'll probably only be able to meet up with people in the food court of Madison Square Garden, as I doubt my stepdad will drive me to a restaurant to meet a bunch of people I met over the internet and have never seen face to face...

So maybe I'll just see some of you by chance inside the venue/at merchandise stands/etc...

Me and my buds are going to the Hard Rock Cafe for dinner and then going right to the venue, so hopefully we'll see some of you guys there. I'll be in green camo shorts with a Roll the Bones Rush T-Shirt incase anyone sees me and wants to say hi.

I'll be in a white Killers t-shirt, and since there's a chance they'll be more than one person wearing one, I'm the teenage kid with mid-long hair in case anyone sees me  :lol :birch:

Also, I'll hopefully be getting there by 6:30 the latest, but my meeting locations will be venue-restricted, so food court would be the best place for me, but since the adults might meet at a restaurant or something I'll just miss it, no real big deal (although it'd be really cool to meet you guys).

does the food court open before the venue opens (doors open at 6:30)?  If so, that would seem like the better place to meet at maybe 5:30 or something

You guys think DT will do anything 'special' as MP is making a big deal about the show...

Wish I could be there tonight with you guys!  I'm really happy that the band is finally getting to play MSG, and I hope you all have a great time!
Hef is right on all things. Except for when I disagree with him. In which case he's probably still right.

Got to my train station with 1 minute to spare, so of course now the train is late.

I'll be there around 6:30 the latest. I still say food court would be the most convenient. And if for some reason someone has the urge to meet me, just yell "BIRCH BOY!!"

i thought dt performed with much more energy than i ever have seen.  They seemed to be pretty into it for playing MSG.  I had an awesome time.

yeah, I loved how MP highlighted the meaningfulness of that show for them (ie. dreaming of it as kids, and now doing it - with IM to boot!)

Just got back.. too bad I couldn't see any of you guys but I did have the time of my life and would easily say it was one of (if not the) best concert I've ever been to.

EDIT: Also in case you guys don't know, someone fell off the escalator as we were leaving and I'm pretty sure that he died. We couldn't figure out if he jumped or if he was pushed but I highly doubt he survived. We all heard the thud and then after about 5 minutes when we finally got down the stairs (massive crowds plus rubberneckers = people traffic) he still wasn't moving. He appeared to have landed face first and his feet were in all crooked angles that indicate that at the very least he broke his legs and probably his ribs (considering he landing face first) =/

My god... Was everyone just walking by or were there paramedics there already? Don't the venues always have medical people on call?
